Chapter 1 The ancient temple in the deep mountains
In a blink of an eye, it has been sixteen years since Pei Wende came to this prosperous Tang Dynasty.
During these sixteen years, Pei Wende never wanted to return to his previous life.
Because in that world, Pei Wende has his own family, his own friends, convenient Internet, and a stable and comfortable life.
In this so-called "Tang Dynasty", Pei Wende only had an old master, an ancient temple that could only accommodate several monks.
Pei Wende can no longer remember the memories of his birth, just like he can no longer remember when Zen Master Lingyou became his master.
In this regard, Pei Wende could only say that he was not those gifted time travelers, and his brain, which had not yet developed completely in his childhood, could not tolerate him recording those irrelevant information.
The only thing Pei Wende remembers is that since he had a memory, he has been wandering around with Zen Master Lingyou and begging for alms. He did not settle down in the ancient temple of Tongqing Temple in Tanzhou when he started to remember.
Tanzhou in the Tang Dynasty was actually the Changsha area of Hunan in later generations, and it was the capital center of a province.
However, unlike the prosperity of later generations, Tanzhou is still a very chaotic area today, and only those officials who have been exiled will be transferred here.
Of course, in terms of senses alone, the ancient areas in Pei Wende's eyes were actually not much different.
Now that industrial civilization has not yet risen, once it leaves the city, it is no different from the popular "Survival in the Wild" program in the past.
What really makes Pei Wende feel troublesome is that even if you walk along the official road built by the court, it will take half a day to go from Tongqing Temple to the nearest city.
The only thing that is thankful is that there are still some villages at the foot of this ancient temple located in the deep mountains, so it would not have turned the monks in the temple into the guest of the "Wild Survival" program.

"Old monk, the amount of surplus grain in the temple is less than three days away, so I must find a way to go down the mountain."
After coming out of the kitchen of Tongqing Temple, Pei Wende first looked up at the location of the sun in the sky, roughly judged the current time, and then walked straight towards Zen Master Lingyou's Zen Room.
It must be explained here that although Zen Master Lingyou has accepted Pei Wende as his disciple.
However, since Pei Wende has always refused to be a monk, the name between the two is not an official master and apprentice.
Just as Pei Wende is now used to calling Zen Master Lingyou "Old Monk", Zen Master Lingyou has always been "sad" and the "bad disciple" is called Pei Wende.
In other words, Zen Master Lingyou called Pei Wende a "bad" and a "bad disciple" at the beginning. Pei Wende called the other party "old monk" just out of revenge.
At first, Pei Wende, who came from a civilized society, was still a little too accustomed to this strange master-apprentice name.
But over time, he also found that Zen Master Lingyou was still very different from the monk in his impression.
At least the other party did not care about these secular etiquettes, like a mad monk who saw through the world. In his eyes, secular etiquette was nothing.
"Do you want to go down the mountain again?"
He immediately heard the meaning of Pei Wende's words, and Zen Master Lingyou sighed helplessly through the door panel.
Pei Wende, who was born under the Red Banner in his previous life and grew up in New China, is a standard new generation in the 21st century.
After seeing the Internet with developed information, it would be a difficult task to keep him in one place for many years and do nothing.
It was only after traveling through this era that Pei Wende learned what kind of life the real ancient people had.
Let’s not talk about those princes, nobles, gentry and local tyrants for the time being.
Ordinary farmers living at the bottom of society act all day long for their own food, drink, defecation, urination, and sleep, and there is no other unnecessary entertainment.
In this case, even if Pei Wende simply wants to eat something good, he must go to the market closest to here.
Thanks to this, Pei Wende has developed a body that is far beyond his previous life. The ordinary 100-kilometer mountain road is a piece of cake for him.
"I just went out for a walk and would come back before dark."
He habitually answered Zen Master Lingyou's question. Pei Wende knew that the other party had known about running down the mountain and secretly having a small stove.
"Remember to go and go back early, it's not peaceful at the foot of the mountain recently."
Zen Master Lingyou, who knew Pei Wende's nature, did not dissuade him too much. He just gave a light command and closed his eyes again, and soon entered a state of meditation.
“Not peaceful?”
Upon hearing this, Pei Wende, who was about to walk down the mountain, was slightly stunned, and then he showed a look of thought.
[What aspects of peace? War? Natural disaster? Or... those monsters and monsters?]
Although this era generally conforms to the history of the Tang Dynasty in Pei Wende's impression, it is much more detailed in some details than the Tang Dynasty in history books.
At least, there are really monsters in this era.
Let’s not talk about Pei Wende in his previous life not a staunch atheist.
Just talking about reincarnation and rebirth in this era, Pei Wende, who was in his infancy, saw the old monk confronting and communicating with other creatures more than once.
It’s a pity that as Pei Wende gradually grew up and reached the age of sensibility, the old monk no longer showed any special abilities in front of him.
Although he didn't know why the old monk was hiding his special abilities, Pei Wende was also tactful and did not ask too much questions and inquire.
In this regard, Pei Wende is very consistent with the essence of Zen practice without practicing and letting things go naturally.
Of course, this is just a nicer statement.
According to Zen Master Lingyou's usual evaluation of Pei Wende, this is clearly a manifestation of not seeking progress and being willing to degenerate.
"Actually, I hope to encounter one or two monsters."
Walking on the mountain path down the mountain, Pei Wende, who had long been accustomed to this rugged mountain path, was thinking while walking quickly towards the mountain.
"After all, unlike the old monk, they might tell me what's going on with my current 'ability'?"
When Pei Wende looked up at the foot of the mountain again, a sense of closeness came from all directions, quickly replacing his original sense of five senses.
At this moment, Pei Wende seemed to feel that he was integrated with the entire earth and could sense everything that was happening in the mountains.
From big to tigers to small to small grass swaying...
Although this not-so-clear perception does not seem to be of much use, it can give Pei Wende an amazing sixth sense and intuition to avoid possible dangers.
In this ancient temple in the deep mountains, Pei Wende was able to grow up safely to his current age. This special perception ability can be said to have made great contributions.
